Got a rumbling loose wheel bearing on my 300.
New ones are on their way...

Can someone have a word with the big man and make sure it dont rain tomorrow night?

ALL DONE NO RAIN!!

But he cannot guarantee that the parts will be the right ones when they arrive, also he said you will probably have stripped the car down before you find out!

Don't forget to set your end float with a DTI......or just nip up the nut, give your wheel a good wiggle & shake rotating it through 180 degrees, then back the nut off a quarter turn.
